r/VestibularMigraines

If you have them: where did you get, are they useful, roughly what did they cost?

Tonight at supermarket I thought, Oh wow, maybe I really should get a pair. After a long day, rainy/humid out, slightly dehydrated…the fluorescent lights, the blinding floors, so many shelves of so many things(!)…almost did me in.

(Ps: Feel like I maybe posted this a year ago but not totally sure 😶‍🌫️😵‍💫😳)

Hello everyone,

I have been dealing with vertigo and dizziness for over 6 weeks. It actually stopped for 1 week but returned this week.

ENT diagnosed me with BPVV, Vestibular Migraine and TMJ. Neurologist said it was too soon to diagnose vestibular migraine specially because this is the first time I have the symptoms. He sent me to PT which I start tomorrow.

My symptoms are:

- Dizziness and vertigo
- pounding heart beat
- pain right above the opening/hole of the right ear
- feeling my ears pop and ringing
- feeling my ears are full every time I pass saliva.
- minor discomfort in the right temple
- Throat congestion and hoarse voice

All of this started a few days after I felt dizzy. No nausea, vomiting or headaches except two days ago when I drank one beer and I had a huge headache.

CT and MRI scans are all normal. One thing the causes the dizziness is when I tilt my head to right or up. Also, I went to the gym about two weeks ago and I jumped rope which made me very dizzy.

are your symptoms similar to mine? ENT said my hearing test was normal and that my throat, ear and nose look okay.

Thanks!

Has anyone tried nortipaline for vm? Did it work well and what dose did you get too? Any real brain fog or or is that the higher doses?
